A PROXY CONVENTION.

The convention to be held at Huron.
July 13, is to be on paper the largest
delegate political gathering ever held
in Dakota-57S delegates. 1t is proba-
BILE that nearly all the counties in the
limits of the South state will be repre-
scented, at least by proxy. The actual
attendance of delegates is not likely to
be large-probahly in about the same
ratio as at the sessions of the constitu-
tional convention the last few years.
One county is entitled to twenty-nine
delegates, and III several of the more
nortberly counties the local papers
think it will be difficult to find enough
pronounced divisioniSts to fill the dele
cations. The Aberdeen News saws the
entire division strength of Brown
county car be numbered with the
twenty-five delegates. Col. PIuslatER
will be there with his pockets all
stuffed with proxies. He learned
how to work the proxy business when
he run with the "old gang'' in the
North. 1t is probable that three fourths
of the membership of the convention
will be carried in the pockets of the
other fourth, but the unusual numbers
are designed for effect abroad. 1t will
be taken as evidence of great popular
Juror, and in the absence of any organ
lied movement on the part of the anti
divisionists will be accepted as demon
stration of much significance. 1t is
designed to be followed with thorough
campaign. The object is not to bring
out the voters, as the local option would
do that in most of the counties, but to
convert and convince the people-not to
secure dispassionate expression of
opinion, but to furnish them new opin-
ions-and induce them to vote for divis-
ion.

are Delaying important Cases.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The Dakota
land offices still held by Republicans are
likely to remain in the hands of the in
cumbents for some time to come unless
the governor shall take some action
concerning them. The cases are hang
ing in pigeon-holes, and there they will
stay until the applicants die or their
heads grew gray. There is always
something fresh every day to occupy
the attention OF the commissioner of the
clerk of the department and the secre-
tary of the interior. They never think
of calling up case and acting upon it
voluntarily. In fact, they have been so
harrassed and annoyed by appointments
that it is with reluctance that they per-
III themselves to consider case when
it is called up and urged upon their at
tention Hence, the only way for the
faithful to get their pie is to induce the
governor to come to Washington in per-
son and ask for changes to be made.
Even then nothing will be done unless
the governor is urgent about it. He
will be obliged to see Secretary Lamar
and have the case ordered to be briefed

Sideration. Then he will need TO see
the president and secure his promise of
action. In addition to that he will have
to get Lamont to make note of the fact,
and order the case to be brought from
the department to the White house.
Then he will have to urge that the cases
he presented to the president at some
time when that Over-worhed man is try
ing to rest and be at leisure. Altogether
it will take the governor about two
weeks of steady working and pulling to
get the cases attended to. The gentle

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The people
of Pierre, the elder. are still inclined to
sit down upon Pierre, the younger, and
take her postOffice away from her. Ever
since the postoffice was established at
East Pierre the people of old Pierre
have felt aggrieved. They feel that
there was no necessity for a new Office
so near them, part of their city being
thus divided off and q large part of the
revenues of the original office being di-
verified, while the work of mail diStribu-
ton was increased. The new Office was
undoubtedly drawback to the postal
prosperity of Pierre, and added largely
to the labor of that Office without any
redeeming financial feature; but the
people of East Pierre were long way
from the old Office and made big show
ing of their need of a new Office, and it
was established. 1t is now shown, how
ever, that Pierre has a street car line
and the people can easily go to the old
office for their mail, and there is like

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The first as

THE GRAND FORKS STORM.
Losses Not SO Serious as at First
Supposed.

Supposed.
Special to the Globe
GRAND Forks, OAK, June 24.-It is
obvious that the earlier estimates of
damage from the late storm were high.
Take, for example, the University of
North Dakota. A competent and re-
sponsible carpenter has offered to repair
the building for less than $1,000, and it
is believed enough can be saved by
economy this year to reconstruct the
damaged parts. AS for the valuable
museum of natural history, principally
is believed by that gentleman he may
be able to gather up and restore most Of
the collection. This over-estimate of
damage to the university has occasioned
a great local commotion and reopened
the old controversy as to its particular
location. AT meeting of the regents
and faculty last night the question was
seriously debated to take the building
down and rebuild on suburban lots.
The regents and faculty argue that the
university, being mile from the city,
is too far out and can never enlist the
hearty co operation of the city, so much
would receive, were it nearer
home. While this is the view
of many, they are confronted with the
memorable legal barrier that the uni
versity stands on twenty acres of
ground donated and decided to the terri
tory by Bulge d Eshelman, the NEST
.enterpri,ing land owners at time when
a site was wanted, and being so situated
and located, it cannot be moved an inch
without territorial authority. The legal
gentlemen on the board of regents are
FULLY cogniZant of this, and know full
well what risks would have to be run in
anticipating future legislative sanction
for a removal without warrant. The
losses of more needy individuals by the
storm were promptly adjusted by the
commission composed of Aker, Fred
rick, Hennessy, Rueth and Christian.
The unfortunate Stirbird family, in
whose homework two lives were lost
and two others nearly, have been the
object of special sempathy. Not only
were all their personal losses repaired
by the committee, but MeSSIs. Fulton
and Gowran have nobly decided lot
to Mrs. Stirbird for new home. The
business blocks and residences damaged
have nearly all been renovated, and
thus the, characteristic elasticity and
energy of Grand Forks people is amply
Xemp.ihed.
